Rerum Deus fons

English

O God, source of all things,

Who, with all things having been conducted,

the extent of all the world

you filled with a wealth of gifts,

And, with such a large mass having been founded,

At length rest you are said

to have taken, granting in labors

that we thankfully may be relieved:

Grant now to mortals

to mourn the sins of life,

to pursue even now virtues

and to be rewarded with prosperous things,

So that when the supreme dread

of the tremendous judge shall have begun,

we all may rejoice in turn

to be filled with the gift of peace.

Supply (this), O Father most devout,

and the Sole equal to the Father,

with the Spirit Advocate

reigning through every age. Amen.
